Not the latest data
Published
Last updated
Reports on the learning destinations and progression of younger learners that achieved their FE & skills, and apprenticeship aims, and traineeship learners that completed their aim. Broken down by qualification title, learner type, level of learning and sector subject area (tiers 1 & 2). This file contains only data for learners whose full academic record is recorded in the NPD and ILR datasets,   meaning the department holds the full educational history (i.e. those who are born in or since 1988). Destination rates are calculated as a proportion of learners who meet these criteria.
